Thus saith the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for on these things I delight." Jeremiah 9:23-24

"Oh to Grace how great a debtordaily I'm constrained to be.Let thy goodness, like a fetterbind my wandering heart to Thee!"

A Poem

Lord, Your words alone are sufficient to feed Your sheep.And as I sit here and write this, I weep.Its overbearing right now Lord, I need you to keepme close by, because right now my knees are weak.You tell those that labor and are heavy laden to come, well its about the 12th time this week.But here I am Lord, broken, lowly and meek.Hoping you find favor for a servant in need.Who sees the importance of planting the seeds,but is stumbling over the fact that she’s incapable of these deeds.I said I'M uncapable, but then that’s where I readthat nothing is impossible with you, Lord, I just have to believe,Because You do the work, God, not me.I just have to keep my eyes fixed on You, I have to continue to seek.Especially during this time when you switch me from milk to solid meat.This is deep. For some reason you’ve chosen me and allowed me to see,now my eyes are opened up so wide that im finally taking heedto the deceptions of this world, but Lord why me?Its definitely bitter sweet.Because the closer I get to you, the more evil you allow me to see.Its everywhere...in my own heart and in the people I see in the streets.Everywhere I look or I turn its right there ready to greetme at the door, ready to meet me in the store, in my class or at the dormOh Lord, its getting bleak!So many lost souls who are prideful and don’t know what else to seek,so they turn to the happiness of the world that’s so quick to fleet.Then they are left with nothing, yea they may have food on the table to eat.But time will tell just how well they prepared their souls to reapjust exactly what they sowed, because judgement day is on the creep.I used to do the same until, Lord, You rescued me.And I pray now that you find me worthy of the calling that I have received,so that I truly count the cost of what it means to believe.It's true. My family, my friends, my whole life I have got to be ready to leave,Because at any moment You could call me to serve You on the other side of the seas.Lord, I pray tonight you hear my cry and I pray You see my grief.I'm struggling over the times when Your commands I didn’t keep.But I thank God for this heavy soul because I know where godly sorrow leads,and that’s to repentance Lord and then salvation it will reap.What a blessing don’t you see, I confess to You from me,that Im an unworthy sinner, but thanks to You I was predestined to bea follower of the Way, You put the lamp unto my feetand light up the darkest allies, its like my life is on repeat.Because over and over it happens, I feel the panic attacking meand then all of a sudden here comes Your Scripture there to always bring me peace.Pointing out that whatever it is I go through its right in front of me to readBecause they say it in Psalms, "as we have heard, so we have seen."My old selfish nature is gone, God intervened and told it to leave.Even though we still battle, I know the flesh is ultimately in defeat.And I love you so much Lord, but I can do no justice to You in the least.Theres no way that I can repay what You did that one night upon that tree,and I pray Lord that you will constantly remind me of Calvaryso that I may never lose sight of it Lord, please always help me to seemyself for what I am, and that’s in total depravity.And while most pray for strength, Lord, tonight I pray that you keep me weakso that I wont get complacent and forget to seekthe Holy God of the Scriptures who gives grace to the humble and meek.Your word is sufficient Lord, I pray that You continue to feed your sheep.

About Me

This blog was made for one reason: to bring glory to the Kingdom of God. In a world where the truth has been exchanged for a lie, I'm here to contend for Biblical truth and to get the word out about the one true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Nothing fancy, just a way to share beliefs on Biblical Christianity and to provide a sound source for people out there hungry for the truth, not just another vain and empty worldview.

In order for us to understand the Good News of the Gospel we must first understand the bad news: we are born separated from God and dead in our trespasses of sin. Anyone who has broken just ONE of God's laws is guilty and deserving of an eternal death. There is nothing that we can do to "help ourselves" out of this, it must take an act of God. It is Christ alone who rescues a sinner's heart and transforms it into a new one that desire's to know God, therefore it is Christ alone who gets the glory. This work of salvation is a gift from the Lord and comes by humbling yourself before Him and repenting of your sins and believing on Christ's substitution death on the cross. Those receiving God's free gift of grace are forgiven of their sins and are chosen to live a life here on earth as well as for all eternity with the Lord. WHAT GREAT NEWS! Unfortunatly many professing Christian's have taken on the name and have forgotten to "count the cost" of what it means to be a true follower of Christ. It is important that we search the scriptures to uncover the true Gospel so we can learn about the life of self-denial that we have been called to live.

"A true recognition of God's sovereignty humbles as nothing else does or can humble, and brings the heart into lowly submission before God, causing us to relinquish our own self-will and making us delight in the perception and performance of the Divine will."-A.W. Pink

"We must be clothed with humility; for the proud in spirit are those that cannot bear to be trampled upon, but grow outrageous, and fret themselves, when they are hardly bestead. That will break a proud man's heart, which will not break a humble man's sleep. Mortify pride, therefore, and a lowly spirit will easily be reconciled to a low condition."
-Matthew Henry
